Big things are expected out of a healthy Dustin Pedroia in 2011, especially now that the former AL MVP has Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez surrounding him in the Red Sox lineup.

On Wednesday, the second baseman told NESN's Peter Gammons that he matured during his time away from the field in 2010.

"I learned a lot," Pedroia said. "I felt like I matured a lot more by watching the game and I figured out — even during my rehab process — that I can't go 1,000 miles an hour like I normally do. So I have to harness energy in certain areas and I think it's made me better player, and it's definitely made me a better person for it."

But what else is on Pedey's mind? Why don't you ask him for yourself?
